The Power of "The Score"

Our Proprietary Scoring System: Technical Analysis, Inner Circle, Valuation, and Fundamentals.

Designed with your workflow in mind and to give you the level of information you want, while keeping it out of the way when you don’t.
The order of The Score is based on the speed at which the stock is affected: Technicals being the fastest, and Fundamentals the slowest.  For example, a very short term trader may not put as much weight on Fundamentals as with the Chart. However, as an actively managing investor, Fundamentals will be more influential on your trades.


Storyboard of the Strategy

We also display a storyboard-like view of the selected strategy.  It is a combination of chart, risk graph, and performance channel constructed within one panel.

This storyboard gives you the full picture of the position:  The Structure,  Performance Channels and Calculations.

 


Scans - Find Opportunities - Overview

Stagnant? Uncertain?  Bearish or Bullish? Short or long term?  No problem!

This “Find” category is  where to find opportunities based on current Market activity and outlook, or select opportunities based on events, such as Earnings or Dividend announcements.

Whether looking for opportunities based on The Score, Events, Chart Patterns, Bullish, Bearish, Stagnant or Unknown outlook, a scan will help you find potential trade opportunities.  

You can drill-down for scans by Category, Sub-Categories, then Group.

Example:  Strategy>Time Spreads>Call Calendar Spreads.   You can use the drop-down box, above the Category boxes to search for the scan you want or type in the box a generality about the scan.  Examples:  “Earning”, “Bull”, “Bearish”. “Score”, “Red”, “Green” will yield scans with that particular name in the scan

 


Designed to provide the level of information you want

As much information you want. When you want it.

Each of our scoring algorithms are derived from several factors, all captured in a user-friendly format.

The stock dashboard provides a more detail summary layer view of The Score. Each component: Technical, Inner Circle, Valuation and Fundamentals allows you the ability to obtain the information you want, when you want it – and kept tucked away, when you don’t.


The Dashboard Scan Tab

Get the current ‘story’ on a stock.

The  Scan Tab is particularly interesting. In addition to providing a list of scans the stock is currently included in, it can give you a “story” about the stock.  Based on the scans that the stock is showing up in, you can get an overview of outlook on the stock.

For example: JNJ shows solid longer term positive outlook.
XOM Shows stagnant with improving longer term outlook

Performance Channels

Performance Channels can assist in visual analysis across both the P/L Graph and the Chart.

  • Dark Green – Stock movement affects gain
  • Light Green – At maximum gain
  • Dark Red – Stock movement affects loss
  • Light Red – At maximum loss

The width of the channel on the chart represents the timeframe of the trade.  If options expire in 30 days, the channel will display back 30 days on the chart.  This give a visual reference for the time frame of the trade.

Note:  Channels are displayed based on expiration of the trade.  Past performance is not indicative of future results.  Performance channel date orientation is for reference only.
